Texas has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Texas Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Texas is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Conviction Database search lets anyone look up convictions and deferred adjudications by name, for $3 a search, through the Texas Department of Public Safety. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Texas Department of Public Safety site.
To see your own record, the route is a fingerprint-based request to the Department of Public Safety. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at securesite.dps.texas.gov/dpswebsite/criminalhistory.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Alamo Heights
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Alamo Heights (filed by the FBI as Alamo Heights Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Alamo Heights: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places six campus police departments and nine other agencies in Bexar County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
The Lytle Police Department and the Schertz Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Bexar County, so their arrests are not broken out for Bexar County here.
Together, the 20 agencies in Bexar County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 56,468 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Alamo Heights arrest records.
